Four veteran Earth Immortals!
What kind of concept is that? And they weren't the same type of veteran Earth Immortals as the Yan Family Ancestor or Zhan Tiancheng, but figures who had already become famous and shaken the world thousands of years ago.
With the title of a Three-star Elder of Taotian Palace, Li Yixing might not fear one of them. But if all four personally descended, he was practically a lamb thrown into a tiger's den, with not the slightest power to resist.
At this moment, the last sliver of hope in Li Yixing's heart completely shattered.
"Four… four veteran Earth Immortals!"
And off to the side.
Tuoba Ye was almost scared into kneeling on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. Faced with Earth Immortals of such terrifying strength, even without them releasing any Qi Force, just the majesty that had been forged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood was enough to make everyone's hands and feet go weak.
The others weren't doing any better, also frightened into collapsing on the spot.
"I really didn't expect Taotian Palace to kick an iron plate this time!"
The bystanders watching the spectacle were all filled with astonishment. They hadn't faced the pressure of Chu Zhongyun, Yue Tianyi, and the others directly—though they still found it hard to endure, it was better for them than for Tuoba Ye and the rest.
"Yeah, we thought it was a tiger bullying lambs, but who knew they'd provoke four ferocious beasts instead!"
Many people silently shook their heads.
In everyone's eyes—
As a Three-star Elder of Taotian Palace, Li Yixing could do as he pleased within the Thirty-Six Countries of the Celestial South. Bullying a few Loose Cultivators was the easiest thing in the world.
"Master, who are those four? Do they really not fear even Taotian Palace?"
Within the crowd, a ponytailed girl turned her head to ask.
Standing in front of the girl was an old man, travel-worn and weathered in appearance. His name was Murong Shou, the Sect Leader of Moonlight Sect. Moonlight Sect was nothing more than an obscure little sect, with only a couple of stray cats to its name.
The girl beside him was called Zhao Qing.
"What do you know?" Murong Shou let out a cold laugh. "Those four are big crocodiles of the xtreme North. Each one's strength and status are at least equal to, if not greater than, Li Yixing's!"
As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the Withered Bone Ancestor: "That one was already a Fierce God of the xtreme North in the past. It's said he attained the Dao through white bones! His cultivation has reached the Earth Immortal Sixth Layer—terrifying to the utmost!"
"Because he attained the Dao through white bones, many coveted him. But seated in command over the White Bone Hall of the xtreme North, he fought for three full months, slaughtering until rivers of blood flowed. Among those he felled were quite a few long-established figures!"
"After that battle, no one in the xtreme North dared contend with him ever again, and he earned the title of Venerable White Bone!"
Hearing this, Zhao Qing's eyes went wide with shock. "That scary?"
"If he didn't have means, he'd have fallen long ago. As for Yue Tianyi, Wu Yurong, and Chu Zhongyun, they are at least as strong as he is, if not stronger. The four of them are hailed as the Four Great Powers of the xtreme North!"
Murong Shou's eyes were filled with deep fear.
These weren't giants like Void Peak, Ye Xuan, Ning Yukong, or Zhou Longxing, but absolute tyrants who shook a whole region of heaven and earth and suppressed a whole stretch of sky.
"Now that the four of them have come in person, it's like Mount Tai crashing down; there's practically no one who can break this situation. Li Yixing has really kicked an iron plate this time!"
Upon hearing this—
Zhao Qing looked forward with a face full of worry.
She had a feeling.
Today, not a single person from Taotian Palace would leave Wuyun Mountain alive.
And it wasn't just her; everyone present thought the same.
Li Yixing forced himself to speak: "Are you really going to make enemies of my Taotian Palace?"
"And if we are?" Wu Yurong stroked the white lion, smiling faintly. "Will you break your own legs, or shall we do it for you?"
Whoosh!
There was a sudden howling sound.
Everyone turned to look, only to see that Li Yixing's figure was already streaking away, fleeing toward the outside of First-Grade Pavilion.
'He's trying to run?'
Everyone's hearts trembled.
Of course Li Yixing wanted to run.
Especially with the four great powers appearing one after another, Li Yixing felt like a basin of cold water had just been dumped over his head, sending him plummeting into an abyss. He had never imagined that bullying a few ordinary Loose Cultivators would draw these people out.
If it were just some common veteran Earth Immortal, that would be one thing. But the four before him were each existences that stood above him.
"How could they be here?"
"To force the four of them to retreat, at the very least the Supreme Elder would have to come in person!"
So thinking, Li Yixing's figure shot backward at full speed.
However—
The Withered Bone Ancestor only let out a cold laugh and said:
"Trying to leave now—don't you think it's a bit late?"
He raised his hand and clenched it; light gathered. A pitch-black bone spear formed in his white skeletal grip. As he hooked his finger around it, his aura instantly transformed.
Those who had still held some doubts finally believed that this white skeleton before them was indeed the Withered Bone Ancestor, the one who had cowed the xtreme North with ruthless slaughter, known to all as Venerable White Bone!
"Boom!"
The Withered Bone Ancestor's fingers tightened, his whole body pulling taut into a straight line like a bow fully drawn! The bone spear in his hand was the crossbow arrow at full tension!
Then he swung his arm.
Crackle!
The bone spear left his hand in an instant, tearing through the void with a terrifying sonic boom. At its tip, a crescent arc of flame flared into being!
"Not good!"
Feeling the sudden howl rising behind him, Li Yixing's expression changed drastically. Without the slightest hesitation, he brought his palms together.
Boom!
In a blink, rays of light surged. Layer upon layer of shields appeared, fanning out through the air.
Clearly—
In that instant, Li Yixing was pushing the cultivation of his entire life to the absolute limit.
But those layers of shields were like mere paper before that bone spear, shredded to pieces in an instant.
"Pff!"
A ripping sound rang out.
Under countless horrified gazes, the bone spear punched through Li Yixing's back and blasted out of his chest. The terrifying force knocked him off balance outright, and amid cries of shock and screams, he tumbled across the ground, smashing everything around him into chaos.
"It's over!"
Seeing this scene—
Tuoba Ye and the others turned deathly pale, almost collapsing to the ground, all former arrogance gone. As for the other disciples, tears streamed down their faces. Even Li Yixing couldn't withstand a single strike from the Withered Bone Ancestor—how could they?
Chu Zhongyun's eyes were full of ridicule.
Wu Yurong didn't even spare Li Yixing another glance.
The Withered Bone Ancestor's face twisted into a vicious grin. "Li Yixing, you're even weaker than you were eight hundred years ago… and you dare act wildly in front of us like this?"
"Today, I'm going to see every last one of you die here!"
At that moment, the spectators all fell silent.
Li Yixing's face was full of bitterness.
Murong Shou sighed heavily and shook his head in secret. Zhao Qing even closed her eyes, unable to bear watching any longer. Just when everyone thought that the people of Taotian Palace had no way to escape this calamity, and when Chu Zhongyun, Wu Yurong, Yue Tianyi and the others already had mocking smiles on their faces—
A faint voice suddenly drifted in from the side:
"Is that so?"
